Hilarious comedy at The Met on the First Thursday of every month.

Featuring Paul Sinha (“Legend” Scotsman; “Brilliant” Comedy.co.uk) and Tom Stade (“Unmissable” Edinburgh Evening News; “Gloriously funny” The Scotsman) previewing their brand new shows.

Paul Sinha – 2 Sinha Lifetime

After a dramatic Edinburgh Fringe in 2023 which saw universal acclaim from the critics, and a far less impressive verdict from Edinburgh Royal Infirmary, the improbable news is that Paul Sinha is back. Despite his continued quiz prowess, his Radio 4 career, and his decision to write a memoir rather than a hastily patched together murder mystery, Paul is not ready to exit the stage just yet. This 30th anniversary show promises jokes and, despite everything, no pathos.

“Triumphant… A Fringe legend” Scotsman; “Deliciously cynical and revealing” Metro; “Another brilliant hour” Comedy.co.uk

Tom Stade – Naughty By Nature

One of the greatest stand-ups of our time; join the Canadian legend as he playfully dishes out his insightful observations. An irrepressible tour-de-force with an hour of first-class, mischievous and uncompromising comedy.

“As fresh and youthful as three decades ago. Athletic finesse; jokes are machine-tooled in precision… effortless in their delivery” ★★★★ The List

“Unmissable” Edinburgh Evening News; “So cool, he could well be the answer to global warming… gloriously funny, silly and smart” The Scotsman; “One of the best, with a shedful of classy routines. The sort of comic you could listen to all night” Chortle.

First Thursday Comedy at The Met is booked by Comedy In A Van.
